family trip
After sightseeing in Karuizawa, Kusatsu Onsen, Zenkoji Temple, Kurobe Dam, and Hakuba Village, we finally went to Mashidaya, the place of our dreams.
My wife found on Instagram a delightful one with high cost performance ^ ^.
The rice used for the brewing of this sake is "non-standard rice", so it is not a sake with a specific name (junmai-shu), but is treated as "ordinary sake".
It tastes and smells like a summer sake.
Good evening, c.george 😃.
After visiting the famous sightseeing spots, the family trip ended at Mashidaya! As a resident of Tochigi Prefecture, I'm very happy to hear that 😄Nice that you and your wife checked out the sake you wanted 👍Please come again 👋.
I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this day. Mashidaya original.
I let it sit for a while!
It's clean, refreshing, but with a deep aftertaste. ❗️ It'll be gone in no time.
A unique sake made from 99% (very low milled rice) "red rice" brewed with "kimoto" and stored and aged in oak barrels used in wineries and other wineries.
As mentioned in the description, it has a delicious acidity similar to that of brandy or Shaoxing sake.
It is also delicious when mixed with citrus juices like liqueur.
I think all the snacks that go well with wine are a perfect match.
Asahi Koh Super Normal Sake that you are lucky to find!
Junmai Daiginjo specs, but because it is made from rice outside of the standard range, it is treated as a regular sake, making it a great value!
Capsule aroma
Elegant flavor of wasanbon
Smooth and mellow sweetness and flavor
Gorgeous taste like an exhibited sake
We were lucky to come across it again this year!
Toast Festa with Tochigi Local Sake🤗③.
29 breweries (1 sake from each brewery), craft beer, various dishes, etc.
We had almost no information about the taste of the sake, so we had a hard time deciding what to order.
I asked, but I didn't know what other breweries' sake tasted like.........................so difficult!
It was a mellow, umami type sake. It had a luxurious taste, as expected of a junmai daiginjo.
This is the second drink at CHUIN, a standing drinking establishment last Wednesday.
I was in the mood for a nice, relaxed drink, so I went for a rare warmed sake.
There was a bottle of Kyokko on the shelf at room temperature that I had always wanted to try, so I had it heated.
The appearance is a warm gold color with a light misty lees tinged with haze.
Banana aroma of isoamyl acetate in the aromatic alcohol.
When it settles down, there is the aroma of rice in the process of cooking and the banana aroma behind it as well.
In the mouth, it has a soft and light texture, followed by a sharp expansion of acidity, and then a slight, dark sweetness that slowly seeps through to a thick umami flavor.
As it cools down, the richness and softness of the sweetness and umami overflow, and it is delicious.
This is the sake of the brewery where Chikara Urasato, the master brewer, trained.
It soaks up the flavor of the sake.
My beak is still too yellow to venture into the depths of the world of heated sake due to my lack of study and experience, but I think it might be intoxicating to drink it casually and loosely like this.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Kyokko-san! I've never had this one 😅it's delicious 🤗I haven't had it lately 🥲but it's thick and tasty 😋good for a leisurely drink 😄.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I haven't been able to drink Kyokkyo because I haven't seen it very often at the liquor stores I stop by, but I finally had a chance to drink it: ☺️
I liked it because it's not just a classic, it's a neo-classic 😄.
Good evening, Aladdin. Kyokkyo's heated sake is delicious, isn't it? It was so good at a heated sake store before that I told Jay how impressed I was. I want to drink it again 🍶✨.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
I rarely drink heated sake, but even I can tell it was delicious 🍶.
You are a true evangelist for heated sake 😁.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention my love for Tochigi 🫶.
